🕰️ Eternal Reverie

4
A dream-loop romance. Liora, a thief of dreams, meets Cassian, a man trapped in repeating time. Floating clocks, frozen stars, whispered memories. Each night they find one another, trying to remember love before the world resets again.
.
Every night, the city of Veluna falls asleep beneath a clock that never moves.
And every morning, it wakes to the same sunrise.
No one remembers the loop — except Liora Thane, a Dream-Thief who steals secrets while others sleep. She lives between hours, walking through dreams like hallways of color and light. Her job: to retrieve memories for clients who’ve lost them to the endless repetition. But something in the dreamworld has changed — a heartbeat that doesn’t reset with dawn.
In one dream, she meets Cassian Vale, a man who knows her name before she speaks it. He isn’t a dreamer; he’s the echo of someone who remembers. He claims he’s trapped in the loop because of her — that she once stole a memory from him so powerful it broke time itself.
Together, they search through overlapping dreams, chasing fragments of the day that started everything. Each time the clock strikes twelve, the world resets — but their bond grows stronger. Liora begins to remember the feeling of falling in love… and losing him.
To end the loop, she must return what she stole — his last dream, the one where they were together. But doing so means erasing herself from his memory forever.
Love, time, and sleep — all bound by a single breath before the dawn.
